THE HUNTSMAN GAMES - 8 EMASS players win a silver medal!

Several current and former EMASS players, playing for Hannington’s of Massachusetts under manager Joe DeFelice, won silver medals in the 65-plus AAA Softball Division of the 2009 Huntsman Senior World Games in St. George, Utah in October, 2009.

Overall, sixty 65-plus teams competed in the games in seven divisions (Major Plus, Major, AAA, AA, B, C, and D) with Hannington’s being the only team from the northeast to earn a medal in any division. In addition to Joe DeFelice, the EMASS players included Bud Dodge, Peter Keville, Justin McGrath, Mike Russillo, Angie Scarcella, Spider Walsh, and Dave Wainwright. The Hannington’s roster also included Charlie Howe and Al Spirodine from Tewksbury; Bob Brown from Taylor Aviary (Rhode Island); and Billy Sayball from the Edge (Connecticut).

Prior to the Huntsman games, Hannington’s finished 2nd (of 10 teams) with a 4-1 record in the 65 AA Division of a tournament in Mesquite, Nevada.


EMASS 60’s win Tournament of Champions - January, 2009

Joe Salzano’s guys, playing in their last tournament as a team, put together
hitting, fielding and pitching as they tattooed themselves with individual and collective recollections that will forever defy the senior tendency of forgetfulness. After reaching the finals of the winner’s bracket undefeated, they faced the winner of the loser’s bracket, Doc Martins, a team out of Chicago that had won the Eastern Championship in order to qualify. The Bostonians, who only had to win 1 game to become the champ, proceeded to lose the first game 11-8. They came back in the final game to win it all 10- 6. The low scores reflected the skill level of both teams – or maybe that it was 3:30 pm and play had begun at 8 am that morning.

The Bostonians placed 5 players on the All-Tournament team: Dave Clark, Stu Gray, David Hadden, Joe Marmai, and Peter McClellan. Stu Gray (a pitcher) was selected as tournament MVP and awarded a gold Mikan bat that was especially
created for the event.

The team: Dave Clark (Cape Cod), Bob Clifford (Quincy), Mike DiFlece (Canton), Stu Gray (Cambridge), Dave Hadden (Cambridge), Steve Jones (Wayland), Roger LaPage (Cambridge), Joe Marmi (Quincy), Peter McClellan (Cape Cod), Ron Pellegrini (Canton), Al Penny (Peabody), Joe Salzano (Cambridge) and Dave Wainwright (Replays – ND)
